Why we picked it Once you are self-employed, your personal CIBIL is the credit file lenders read, so this explainer earns its place by spelling out how your business borrowing feeds back into that personal score and how to keep it clean. It is concrete on the structure that decides your exposure (as a sole proprietor a business loan hits your personal score directly; a private limited company insulates it), and on the discipline that protects the 750-plus score you will want when you raise or bridge: pay every EMI on schedule, hold credit-card utilisation at or below 30 percent, avoid a cluster of hard enquiries, and check your report for errors. This is the credit-health hygiene that keeps a debt from becoming an unfunded debt.

- Hold credit-card utilisation at or below 30 percent and keep every EMI on schedule to protect the 750-plus score lenders want.
- Space out loan applications: a burst of hard enquiries dents the score right when you may need a bridge loan.
